Day 28 Banneker Institute

I was able to calculate the insolation (S) and the eccentricity (e) of all three planets. The insolation of a planet is the amount of thermal energy that a planet obtains from its host star. The eccentricity is the shape of the orbit of an object as shown below.

$$e = \frac{|1 -  (\frac{\rho_{obs}}{\rho_{true}})^{2/3}|}{1 + (\frac{\rho_{obs}}{\rho_{true}})^{2/3}}$$

$$L = \frac{r_{*}^{2}*T_{*}^{4}}{T_{sun}^{4}}$$

$$S = \frac{\frac{L*a}{r_p}}{(\frac{r_{earth}}{a_{earth}})^{2}}$$

"Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them - that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like."
